Cochlear implant is by far the most successful treatment for sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) - the most common sensory deficit in the world. Although it was generally prescribed, the understanding of the etiology and the cellular structural abnormalities of SNHL is still limited due to the lack of direct imaging of the interior of the inner ear of living human patients. We have developed a micro-OCT probe that can serve as the stylet of a cochlear implant, which can perform cellular-level imaging through the cochlear implant during the surgery, providing diagnostic information and guidance to the surgeons.
